Viking Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

May 23, 1996.
    Take notice that on May 21, 1996, Viking Gas Transmission Company 
(Viking) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheets, proposed to 
be effective June 1, 1996:

Second Revised Sheet Nos. 13-15
Second Revised Sheet Nos. 19-20
Second Revised Sheet Nos. 23-25
Second Revised Sheet Nos. 28-30
Third Revised Sheet Nos. 39
Fourth Revised Sheet Nos. 62
Third Revised Sheet Nos. 63 and 64

    Viking states that the purpose of this filing is to modify Viking's 
existing policies on the construction of laterals, taps and metering 
facilities to provide new or additional service to its customers. 
Viking's current policies provide that Viking will provide laterals and 
customer delivery facilities only if the customer reimburses Viking for 
one hundred percent of the new facilities costs prior to the 
commencement of construction.
    Viking states that it is proposing to amend this policy to create a 
menu of payment options that can be used separately or collectively to 
provide for payment of the new facilities' costs. Under Viking's 
proposal, customers would have the additional options of reimbursing 
Viking by: (1) paying a separately stated firm reservation charge that 
is designed to recover the cost of the new facilities; or (2) 
subscribing for a new or additional amount of mainline firm capacity 
sufficient to provide an incremental revenue stream with a present 
discounted value equal to or greater than the new facilities; costs.
    Viking states that copies of the filing have been mailed to all of 
its jurisdictional customers and to affected state regulatory 
commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be filed as provided 
in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to 
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection.

Secretary.
